Windows 7: Win-7 RC install problem

I've a Dell Studio 540 and its spec has been confirmed as ok for Win7 usage by the Window Upgrade Advisor.
As I require Dual System boot facilities (Vista/Win7) I've partitioned my HD, downloaded and burnt Win7RC onto a start-up CD and attempted to install the Win7RC system.
Installation proceeds perfectly until the final re-boot where the screen indicates ""SetUp is Starting Services"" but then it stops with the message:-

X Windows could not finish configuring the system and will attempy to restart.

Hey SD

Welcome to sevenforums

Could you tell us abt your win 7 image. where you got it, how you burned it, etc.

I can point to you towards a few free or free versions of programs that will see excellent resuilts as far as burning the images to disk. The media used of course is a different matter there if you ran into a bad bunch.

It sounds like something didn't fully copy to the drive namely one of the setup files. Every so often you'll run into a problem install like this where you end up starting all over in order to see a full working copy go on.

The question here is how you setting up the dual boot itself? on the same drive? or across two separate drives?
